Flown 757s with both. Carbon more 'fierce' during taxy out braking, better on landing when hot. A point to note is that autobrake setting 1 meant that they were not heating up sufficiently towards optimum and therefore wearing more quickly, so the company made it SOP to use a minimum of autobrake 2.
